<p>dude, they made a mistake in the article: “Harvard University had the fifth most selective rate, admitting 807 of its 3,872 applicants for an early acceptance rate of 28.1 percent, a sizeable jump from last year’s 21 percent. Harvard deferred 73 percent of its applicants and denied only 3.8 percent, said Marlyn McGrath Lewis, Harvard’s director of admissions.”</p>
<p>807/3872 = 20.8% not 28.1% so harvard is second among ivy leagues…</p>
<p>yale did not calculate the percentage correctly…harvard had the second most selective rate…</p>
